Giant Garden Paste Hybrid Tomato Seeds

I planted three plants this year to see if they would be a good addition to my sauce making varieties. All I can say is WOW! The size of each plant is about a foot taller than the other varieties, the fruits are large and meaty. They would make a great sauce if I could keep them long enough to make sauce. Absolutely delicious in sandwiches and salads! This one's a keeper!

Its just getting into prime 'mater season this year, and already I know that this variety will be one I seek out every year. HUGE, beautiful fruits on large, sprawling vines. Lost a couple early fruits to BER but that's not uncommon especially with paste types. I just harvested my largest tomato I've ever grown at 1 lb, 6 ounces, GIANT is not an overstatement in the name of this variety. One strange thing - the DTM listed here on the website of 95 seemed like it would be one of the last plants to set fruit, but it was actually one of the first harvested in my garden of 12 varieties (beating out Early Girl and Early Pick). Something to think about.

The upside: These are fast growing vines producing abundant HUGE, tasty fruit. The downside: The vines are already (in late June, zone 7) over 8 ft tall and so heavy I can't seem to find anyway to keep them upright. They have lifted the cages out of the ground and pulled over posts with their weight. But they seem to be worth the challenges as I've never had so many tasty, big, paste tomatoes. I just need to find another way to support them.

I planted some Giant Garden Paste Hybrid Tomato seeds in a grow tray on March 19 and by March 22 they were an inch high. I can't talk about the plants or the fruit yet, but the seeds sure are vigorous. In the same tray I have five other types of tomatoes. None of them germinated as fast. And 100% of my giant paste tomato cells have seedlings. The other tomatoes, even 6 days later, are at 10-20%
